One last note before we jump in\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These reasons aren\u2019t all just made up off the top of my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We actually just wrapped up a giveaway, and asked the question\n\u201cWhat first got you interested in photography?\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So credit for all these awesome reasons goes to our fantastic\nreaders. Thanks for sharing so openly everyone. You rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. CAPTURE A MEMORY THAT YOU CAN HAVE FOREVER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a photo you can capture a moment, and have it forever. I\nthink we take that idea for granted, with photography being so ubiquitous these\ndays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But seriously just take a second to appreciate that. If you did\nthat in Ancient Greece they\u2019d call you a sorcerer. Or a god.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. NOTICE THE DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography changes the way you see things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s actually quite an incredible transformation to experience.\nSuddenly you notice light, shapes, colours, textures, people, bulidings, trees,\nflowers\u2026Everything around you looks different when you start to see the world\nas a photographer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. SEE THE BEAUTY IN THE EVERY DAY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you start noticing details, you inevitably start to see how\nmuch beauty is all around you. Every day is filled with it\u2014in the most ordinary\nor unexpected places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you start to derive happiness from seeing some particularly\nawesome light, you\u2019ll realize that photography has changed your everyday\nexperience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. LIVE IN THE PRESENT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to round out this theme, photography, through it\u2019s ability\nto help you see details and notice the beauty around you, helps you to truly\nlive in the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you shoot you have to be aware of everything if you want to\ncapture it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t be thinking about the movie you watched last night, or\nwhat you\u2019re going to have for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography focuses you on the now, which is incredibly\nvaluable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. SHARE IT WITH THE IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the top ways people got into photography (according to\nour results) was through someone important to them. People credited their\nmother, father, aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, sibling, friend and even\ngreat-grandparents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography is a passion that you can share with the important\npeople in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can pass it down to the next generation, and spur their love\nof this amazing art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. DOCUMENT YOUR FAMILY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the MOST common reason folks got interested in photography\nwas because of family\u2014particularly having their own children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography is a way to document the lives of your kids, and\nthat alone is worth learning all you can about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. CAPTURE THE AMAZING RANGE OF LOVE AND EMOTION IN KIDS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether they are your own, a friend\u2019s, or a client\u2019s, kids are\nan amazing photographic subject. They see the world differently, and often\nexpress a lot more love and emotion than adults. Being able to capture that is\nboth a fantastic photographic challenge, and a profound learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. IT\u2019S A CREATIVE OUTLET<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone should have a creative outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no use pulling the excuse that you\u2019re \u201cnot creative\u201d.\nAnyone can push the button on a camera, and point it at something they think\nlooks cool. It\u2019s honestly that simple to be creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. MAKE ART<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the result of that creative act? You can create art. That\njust flat out rocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. A GREAT CHALLENGE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, there is actually a lot more to photography than just\npointing the camera at something and pressing the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where you start. But learning to become a great\nphotographer is a serious challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll always be learning something new, have new directions to\nexplore, and new challenges to face. And that\u2019s a good thing! This is a pursuit\nthat you will never be bored with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. SHARE YOUR PERSPECTIVE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone sees things differently. Put 100 photographers in a\nroom and you\u2019ll get 100 different photos. The way you see the world is unique,\nand photography lets you share that perspective with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. EXPRESS YOURSELF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your unique perspective can go further than just showing people\nhow you see a scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography also lets you express yourself\u2014your opinions and\nbeliefs. You do this by choosing what you photograph, and how you represent it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This aspect of your photography is ever-changing as you change.\nYou get a sense of what a photographer is like as a person by looking at their\nbody of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This part of photography is absolutely fascinating as a viewer,\nand fulfilling as a shooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. TELL A STORY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography is a fantastic story-telling medium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re telling a story with one image, a sequence, a\nseries, or an entire portfolio, the possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just ask yourself what story you want to tell, and photography\ncan get you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. CAPTURE AN ADVENTURE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One very common way people get interested in photography is\nthrough travelling. Who doesn\u2019t pack a camera with them on a trip?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more you practice and learn about photography, the better\nyou\u2019ll be able to document your adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. THE BEST SOUVENIR<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photographs are the best souvenir from your travels. They are\npersonal, beautiful, and have a story behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trinkets you buy in markets inevitably break, or clutter up\nyour home. A stunning photo on the wall is personal art that puts a smile on\nyour face as it reminds you of that exciting adventure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE YOU\u2019VE NEVER BEEN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you haven\u2019t been to an exotic locale, but photos can\npractically transport you there like a Stargate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can show you the people, the food, and the sights. Or maybe\nyou want to share your own travels with friends and family. They get to come\nalong with you when you take awesome photos!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. GET CLOSE TO WHAT YOU\u2019RE INTERESTED IN<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography is a fantastic gateway into anything else you\u2019re\ninterested in. Really fascinated by the music world? Become a music\nphotographer and you\u2019ll get to meet the musicians and observe the inner\nworkings of the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are really into coffee, and got to spend an entire day\ntouring a local coffee roastery and shooting it. We loved the experience and\nthey loved the photos\u2014win-win all around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. MAKE YOU FEEL EMOTION<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos make you feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can produce every emotion, from happiness, to sadness, fear\nand excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is so much contained in one small frame\u2014learning to\nproduce them, and read them certainly opens you up to feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. CAN MAKE OTHER PEOPLE FEEL EMOTION<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your photos can make people happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can make people sad. Through simply showing your images you\ncan evoke an emotion in someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the internet you can affect so many people at once.\nPhotography can really connect people in that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21. CAN MAKE OTHER PEOPLE THINK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With your images you can also make people stop and think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a glance at a powerful image can stop people in their\ntracks. Some images can change the way you view the world for the rest of your\nlife. Strong stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22. CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF A PERSON<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A photo can capture the essence of a person, sometimes in just\none frame. This is the goal of master portrait photographers everywhere, and an\nenormous challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when it is achieved, it\u2019s an incredible thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes it takes a series of photos to express the nuances of\nthat person, but either way photography has a way of showing those subtleties\nthat can be hard to describe in words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23. REMEMBER SOMEONE WHO HAS PASSED AWAY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After someone has passed, photos of them become treasured items.\nWithout getting too morbid, everyone will die, and photos are potentially the\nbest way to preserve the image and spirit of a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24. LEARN MORE ABOUT YOURSELF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography involves a lot of introspection over the course of a\ncareer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deeper you get, the more you realize that it\u2019s all about\nwhat you are interested in, how you feel about it, and what you want to say to\nthe people who view your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you shoot, you learn more about yourself, what you value, and\nhow you see the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25. PRESERVE THE BIG MOMENTS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is filled with \u201cbig moments\u201d. Births, graduations,\nweddings, first steps\u2014these are all moments that should be documented for\nfamily history. And a lot of the big moments aren\u2019t times when you\u2019d hire a\nprofessional photographer. Learning more about photography prepares you to\ncapture those big moments for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

26. ENJOY PHOTOS AND MEMORIES WITH LOVED ONES<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine you\u2019re sitting around a big box of photos with friends\nand family. There would be a lot of talking, laughs, stories, jokes, and maybe\neven a tear or two. It\u2019s an amazing way to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

27. ENJOY THE WORK OF OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History is filled with incredible photographers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more you learn about photography, the more you appreciate\ntheir work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes Annie Leibovitz\u2019s work so great? Why is Ansel Adams\nsuch a big name? Learning more gives more enjoyment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

28. SHOOT ANYTIME, ANYWHERE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography is so accessible that you can shoot at any moment.\nYou might not always be able to pull out a canvas and some oils to paint with,\nor grab a guitar and start to play if a creative urge strikes you, but a camera\nis so small and portable that you can shoot anytime, anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

29. CONNECT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photographing someone is an intimate experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You connect with people in a completely unique way with a camera\nin hand and your full attention on them. It\u2019s easier to talk, easier to just\nlook at them\u2014seriously, it\u2019s cool. It\u2019s especially wonderful when you\nphotograph someone you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30. CAPTURE A FEELING, NOT JUST AN APPEARANCE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photographs can show more than just how something looked. They\ncan capture how something felt. Especially if the photographer felt it\nthemselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

31. HELP PEOPLE SEE THE BEAUTY IN THEMSELVES<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a funny thing. A lot of people I know think they aren\u2019t\nphotogenic. And a lot of photographers I know believe that everyone is\nbeautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photographers (especially the great portrait photographers) know\nhow to see the beauty in someone that might not even see it themselves. To show\nthat to them in the photos is an incredible gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

32. DOCUMENT HISTORY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The present is the history of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You never know when you\u2019ll be right in the middle of a world\nchanging event, and your camera will create the record for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

33. IT\u2019S REALLY DAMN FUN + EXCITING!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of these reasons are pretty heavy on the emotion, but\nphotography is also just really damn fun and exciting! Shooting is a blast, and\ncan often get the adrenaline pumping like crazy!!! It\u2019s a trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

34. CAMERAS ARE MECHANICAL ART<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gears, dials, shutters, lenses\u2014cameras are seriously cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are so many types: film, digital, instant, toy, point and\nshoot, SLR, TLR, rangefinder, medium format, large format to name a few. And a\nlot are gorgeous machines. It\u2019s a blast to learn more about them, and\nappreciate what they can do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

35. MAKE OTHERS HAPPY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos make people happy. Whether you captured a great portrait,\nsnagged a shot of a special moment, or took a few photos to help a friend\u2019s new\nbusiness, photography can spread a lot of joy. That\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

36. BRINGS FAMILIES TOGETHER<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having photos taken as a family can bring you together. The act\nsuggests that you want to remember each other, just because. And the resultant\nimages show the love you share. An excellent reminder on those particularly\ncranky days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

37. CAPTURE THE PERSONALITY OF YOUR PET<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pets are an important part of your life too! And they all have\npersonalities of their own. Photos let you capture them in all their glory, to\nshare with the whole world!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

38. TAKE BETTER FAMILY PORTRAITS THAN YOU HAD<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you grew up with awkward family photos, and don\u2019t want to\nput your own progeny through that. Learning to take great photos can help kids\nactually enjoy the process (it\u2019s true!!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

39. TAKE BETTER PHOTOS FOR YOURSELF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of photography is shared, and that\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s something to be said for taking great photos just\nfor yourself. No one else sees them, comments on them, or has to like them.\nIt\u2019s rather freeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

40. CAPTURE RAW EMOTION<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People are incredibly interesting. And emotion is a part of\nthat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeing how the face changes during a laugh, or how body language\nreflects mood are all fascinating studies, and photography helps you capture\nthat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

41. FREEZE MOVEMENT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos have the incredible ability to freeze movement. From\nshots of Olympic athletes, to the ever-hilarious jowling, and stuff exploding,\nphotos show us the world in a way our eyes can\u2019t see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

42. BEND REALITY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along those lines, photography can give you a different look at\nthe world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time lapses, HDR shots, light painting and more. Photography is\njust as good at bending reality as it is at capturing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

43. ENJOY INFINITE POSSIBILITIES<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are literally infinite possible photographic subjects. Literally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

44. ENJOY THE PROCESS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process of photography can honestly be super enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooting is obviously a blast, but there\u2019s more to it! Sorting\nand editing your images is an essential part of the process, and doesn\u2019t have\nto be painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more you learn about it, and come to understand the *why*\nbehind it all, the more you\u2019ll enjoy it. It\u2019s like spending some personal time\nwith your photos!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

45. HEALING. THERAPY. MEDITATION.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography can be all of those things. It can get you through\nthe hardest times in your life. Don\u2019t believe me? Take a look at the original\nresponses. This story popped up multiple times. It\u2019s amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

46. CREATE SOMETHING FOR YOUR KIDS WHEN THEY ARE OLDER<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos gain in value with every single day. Not many stocks can\nboast that. Each passing day brings you farther from that moment, but the photo\nholds it in place. Your kids might not appreciate all the photos you take of\nthem right now, but when they are grown up, those images will be incredibly\nvaluable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

47. SURPRISE YOURSELF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you shoot a lot you\u2019ll always surprise and amaze yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As long as you are always pushing yourself, you can be sure that\nphotography won\u2019t ever get dull! You\u2019ll upload your photos and suddenly say\n\u201cWow! I can\u2019t believe I took that!\u201d. It\u2019s really cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

48. WITNESS LOVE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography brings you into a space where you get to really\nwitness love. It\u2019s amazing. You might not even notice when you\u2019re shooting,\nbut, looking at the photos afterwards, you spot that smile, that look in the\neyes. You\u2019ll see how much parents treasure photos of their kids. How an image\nof a loved one makes someone smile. It\u2019s almost like photography gives you a\npair of magic glasses and you put them on and all of a sudden BAM! You can see\nlove all around!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

49. HELP PEOPLE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s something pretty special about being able to help people\nwhile doing something you\u2019re passionate about. Photography is like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through volunteering you can give something of immense value to\nthose who will really appreciate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

50. EXPERIENCE DIFFERENT EMOTIONS FROM THE SAME PHOTO<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photos have real depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can elicit different emotions from you at different times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you change, your perspective changes, or the world changes, a\nphoto can mean something profoundly different. It\u2019s fantastic to experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

51. TRAVEL IN TIME<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photographs let you travel through time without the use of a\nDeLorean. They can bring you back to a moment that you experienced, and you can\nremember just how you felt. Or they can bring you waaaaay back to a time before\nyou were even born. Then you can wonder about how others felt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

52. COMMUNICATE ACROSS LANGUAGE AND CULTURE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography is like music. There are no language barriers or\nculture barriers. You can communicate with people around the world with an\nimage. And you can connect! Once you start getting your work out there, you\u2019ll\nbe amazed at the connections you make because of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

53. MAKE MONEY<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh yeah, and you can potentially make money from photography!\nPretty nifty, earning money from something so cool. But hopefully you can see\nthat this is just one small reason to become a photographer. Even if you never\nmake a dime at it, it\u2019s definitely a worthwhile pursuit!! (Please see above for\nreasons why.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

54. DEVELOP A LOVE FOR LIFE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all these reasons, this one should just make sense. With\nall the beauty, joy, love, connection, variety, history, adventure, movement,\nemotion, and awesomeness that makes up life, how could you not be stoked to get\nout there and experience it?? With camera in hand, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s wrap it up here. Anyone can become a photographer. It\ndoesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re young or old, what country you live in, or what\nlanguage you speak. Just get your hands on a camera\u2013any camera\u2013and start\nshooting. Practice, think about your work, and open yourself up to your\nexperiences. Keep at it and you\u2019ll see firsthand why being a photographer is so\ngosh darn awesome!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
